Don't bring Lovren into it. He's one of the best defenders in the world don't you know?
Confidence is more important to players than natural skill. He's buzzing right now and completely maximizing his skillsBeautiful corner and has been brilliant since coming back from the World Cup
He was shit last night mate. Shaw had him in his pocket all night. Only Rose played worse.Beautiful corner and has been brilliant since coming back from the World Cup
I agree although I wouldn't say "shit". He wasn't good for sure and yeh Shaw was owning him (which was partly down to Shaw playing wing back and Trips playing fb). Brilliant corner though.He was shit last night mate. Shaw had him in his pocket all night. Only Rose played worse.
Agree on the positions FB vs WB but he couldn't even make simple passes (not the only one), constantly miss-placing his passes giving back possession, losing almost every 1v1 and positionally was diabolical, he didn't know when to press or stand off, tackle or stand his man up (Rose was even worse). Loads of nuances to this of course as we didn't have control of the midfield which has knock-on consequences but shit is honestly the best word to describe that performance IMO. (also predictable as he was in a back 4, seen it all before. Let's play him as WB and play to his obvious strengths).I agree although I wouldn't say "shit".

Don't wanna derail a tripps thread but shaw was excellent last nightI agree although I wouldn't say "shit". He wasn't good for sure and yeh Shaw was owning him (which was partly down to Shaw playing wing back and Trips playing fb). Brilliant corner though.
Good for him and I'm delighted for him. (Well I think those are the words to be used, I must be honest there seem so many fucking "awards" these days I've lost track what what they are or mean, FIFA FIFPro, what's that??? Anyway if this is big and he's happy then I'm delighted for him, great a Spurs player gets selected).One of 55 nominees for FIFA FIFPro World11 2018

Regarded by some as 'just Walker's back up) a couple of years ago to this - quite a change in perception. Oh and Walker's on the list too. As of course is Harry, but he's expected to be now he's no longer a 'one season wonder'
Thoughts Guido 🇺🇦 bus-conductor ?
Lloris, Vertonghen, Alderweireld and Eriksen missing the list proves the list is a joke though.
As is the fact the likes of Dani Alves still gets on it.
Yup, agreed but '25,000 professional players worldwide' voted for it. Or did they ?!

Almost everything they attempted, which admittedly was very little, came down their left (our right). I wonder why yet another team has decided to attack our right flank, game after game, after game the story is the same. What do other coaches see I wonder, a weak link?Wtf was he doing in the closing stages yesterday? 2-1 and we either need to keep the ball or just smack it as far away as possible....instead he chips a terrible pass straight to their player and sets up another counter attack.
